My first download

This morning I successfully downloaded three titles from NetLibrary to my new MP3 player. I followed the step by step NetLibrary Downloadable Audiobook Instructions on the PLCMC website: http://plcmc.org/audiobooks/help.htm The process went faster than I expected, maybe due to the fact that I have high speed access and the latest version of Media Player. It appeared to have skipped over the licensing agreement window with the first title but it did prompt me to backup my license. I did get the license agreement window with the second title.

While I was downloading the files to my player I noted that there were a couple of music files on my computer that my daughter must have downloaded. When I downloaded my third and final book the computer downloaded the music files before I knew what was happening! I then read my player manual to find out how to delete those from my player. So far I have not been successful. The manual is poorly written and difficult to follow. I'm hoping one of my co-workers will be able to help me with this later. In the meantime I will enjoy listening to the books while on my treadmill. It will be so much easier than trying to keep my portable CD player in my pocket!

My family wiki

A couple of nights ago I built a wiki that my family can use to make their holiday shopping less stressful. Some of us have already posted a few of our favorites - restaurants, stores, etc. - which will take the guess work out of our gift buying and hopefully add some fun to what can sometimes be a chore. You're welcome to take a peek at our Fun Family Shopper and tell me what you think. Keep in mind that it has only been up a few days and like all wikis it is constantly under construction! PB Wiki is so intuitive that it really is as easy as 1 2 3.

THE PRIZE

Now that I am the proud owner of an MP3 player I am looking forward to learning how to use it. I've managed to preset some radio stations although I found the instructions a little difficult to follow. I have registered for the downloadable audio books workshop this week and I'm excited about learning how to make the most of my prize!

Play it again Helene :-)

ANOTHER PROGRAM? How are you going to top this? I can see those wheels already spinning. . . Yes, you can count me in. It's a little disconcerting though. Today I found myself at the grocery story actually considering picking up a PC World !!!!
